  • So yeah, about that year long blogging thing

    It looks like I got really busy.

    Final Fantasy, Nologam, Work. It can eat up a hell of a lot time!

    I was planning to post on Saturday with my predictions for Fastlane PPV, but I didn’t have internet at the flat (boo!)

    But no matter, the PPV sucked anyway!

    BUT OH BOY! WHAT A RAW! SHANE O MAC!

    Anyway, I am busy with Nologam and Patch 3.2 of Final Fantasy XIV, but I will post again soon ๐Ÿ™‚

     

  • Yeah, so these posts are not happening

    What can I say? I am busy! Today, I have been busy with getting a new Nologam update out and getting ready to travel tomorrow, so I have been planning for that and at the same time, I have been really exhausted…so hopefully the couple of days away can help me relax and get some posts out ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Weeks are flying!

    Ever since Christmas, I feel that the weeks have been very very very quick!

    I was supposed to be going to Monaghan this weekend, but I couldn’t due to just being exhausted for some reason.

    I was saying to a colleague at work today, “How did it become Thursday all of a sudden?”, like, where did the other couple of days ago?!

    Anyway, the best thing about the week being quick is that I am looking forward to the weekend, which is pretty cool.

    And now my hours are getting switched up so I will be working later in the every day for a week, every 4 weeks, which is not too bad at all.

    And it gets me something to do at the weekend ๐Ÿ˜›

    I have a lot on my mind, relating to Nologam, so I might talk about that in my next post ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Ah Saturday!

    Saturday’s just seems to be that day to A) Have a lie in for a while and B) Get your house tidied. So I managed to have a bit of a lie in, got the place tidied all by 12 which I am very happy about!

    So that means that I can chill out for the rest of the day and play WoW and other games ๐Ÿ˜›

    So, how is you Saturday. Hit me up on Twitter @PadraigFahy and lets have a chat!

    PS. Craving a Subway right about now haha!
    PPS. Yes, I did miss out on blogging yesterday so I will be doing a 2nd post later today ๐Ÿ˜›

     

  • Kawaii Get Down On It Extreme + Other News

    I seen the original loop hundreds of times and I recently stumbled upon this full version. The full version ofย Get Down on It is pretty damn solid.

    Also, I have started using a pedometer app today and I managed to get 4,088 steps – Hopefully I can increase this over the next days, weeks, months (maybe years)

  • PFN Update & Life Update!

    Hi everyone,

    It has been a long time since there has been a post on this blog…and that is for a couple of reasons which I will go through very quickly.
    1) I have been working a great deal and just haven’t had the chance to sit down and do a proper blog post.
    2) I have been working mostly on Nologam. We are growing a steady rate with newer people joining the server and the community every day. We are looking to get the rate of new members increased, but what is more important is activity.

    Over the past year, I have had a simple landing page for Gamers and Geeks with a simple ad about becoming a part of the network. Initially, my plan was to create a network where users from network members could discover new sites, communities and blogs and thus increase activity and exposure. I have had one email regarding that…and that went down the pan.

    For now, we are going to keep the name ‘Gamers and Geeks’ as a network name and use that for Nologam and then maybe change it if we get any new members into the network.

    As for this site, I closed it off a couple of weeks ago because Spam bots had got in and I was getting emails like crazy, but I have re-opened it with a new Spam filter thing called “CleanTalk”. If you use it, let me know how good it is. I am really interested because I may consider getting it for Nologam since there is a bit of a spam bot problem (but most of the staff seems to be dealing with them before I get to them which is awesome).

    For the future going forward, well, that is something that I haven’t decided on. There is a lot happening outside of the PFN to start something new. I feel that at the moment, I should stick and try to improve Nologam and get the results that I am ultimately looking for, rather than wasting my time, energy and money on something that isn’t going to be around for a long time.

    Now, onto my life stuff. Oh boy, what a up and down time we have had over the past 6 months of this year. My grandfather left us just a few days before his 80th birthday from Motor Neurone Disease and of course, it was a massive shock to me as it is the first family funeral that I have ever encountered. Even now, nearly 5 months on from his death, it is still surreal that he is no longer with us. The house is just not the same and it’s hard for me to go into the sitting room at times because I expect him to be there in his seat watching the TV. I explained this in the previous blog post, so there is no point in writing it out all again.

    My health…oh boy…
    Ever since I was born, I have had a Twisted Gut and thus have had problems with going to the loo. For the past few years, it has gotten so bad that the left side of my stomach (from my POV) was inflated like a balloon and it hurted.ย This wasn’t trapped air. This was my bowel full. I was in bed from the Saturday to a Wednesday and then I went to a doctor and he gave me a suppository and if that didn’t work, then I had to go to the hospital.

    After having this problem for so long, the suppository worked. And I started emptying my bowel. It took about 6 sleepless nights for me to empty my bowel. 6! Unbelievable. Since then I have been going at least once a day to make sure everything is right.ย That is ok, but as of a few days ago, I have seemed to miss a day and now, I can’t go (but I am working on resolving so…hopefully I will be ok)

    Anyway, that is enough from this long winded post and hopefully you haven’t been grossed out!
